siiBSCRinnRS are earnestly re?
quested to observe tho date
printod on their address Blips,

Of the expiration of their sub?

attention to this request will
Bavo ali parties a groat deal of
annoyance.
Hard to And a man now davfl
who is not in favor of good
roads.
Our future citizenship de?
pends upon the youth of the
country and if they nrc proper?
ly cared for and given tho right
kind of opportunities there is
no reason why every hoy should
not in future years become n
real factor in the upbuilding of
h umanity,
Tho water franchise at Appa
laohin has been sold to the
t'lonr Crock Water Company,
which is composed of Hig Stone
(lap and Philadelphia capital
ists, and the work ot putting in
a water system in that hustling
little city will lie commenced
in the near future, at.d will be
completed within a year. We
congratulate our neighbor on
its enterprise, ;is I his will add
more to its material growth
and comfort than anything
that could possibly have hap?
pened.
It looks now like we have a
good chance to have an elec?
tion in the Ninth District for
once without the use of monev
and unfair means, both of the
candidates for congress having
agreed not to use money except
for legitimate purposes. This
is as it should he, as both par?
ties in (his district have 11 the
past boon guilty of grohS irre?
gularities,and in orh i to stop
vote selling it is necessary to
stop raising a fund for that
purpose.
The lirst joint debate of the
present campaign in the Ninth
District was held at Oiinchport
on Tuesday of last week be?
tween lion. Oeorge L, Dobson,
of Iowa, and Senator ("laude A.
BwanBou, of V irginia. Tho
democrats say thai Mr. Swan
eon simply cat Mr. Dobson up'
alive, while the republicans say
that Mr. Dobson tore Mr. Swan
Bon all to pieces and when ho
got through with him there was
not a little bit loft. They nro
both good speakers and our
opinion is it was a pretty lively
debate.
At a mass meeting of t ho oil
ir-ens of the Gladevillo district
held at Wise last week, it was
practically unanimously agreed
that that district should vote a
bond issue of :* 12.",0i.i0 for the
completion 0 f her macadam
roads. The necessary petition
will be prepared and presented
to the circuit court culling for
an election, this to ho done us
noon as tho Board of Supervi
Bors go over tho roads and as?
certain tho approximate cost
thereof. It is expected that
the Richmond District will also
vote on a similar bond issue in
tho near future, and it in hoped
that the vote for as many dis?
tricts as may denire to partici?
pate can be taken at tho same
time. If the macadam roads
in tho county are to bo comple?
ted it will bo necessary for the
districts to issue bunds for the
purpose, au the county bond is?
sue is uow about all spent, as
will bo neen from a statement
appearing olsowhoro in this is?
sue of the Post. It would be
folly not to completo tho roads,
and we are sure that the Rich?
mond District will vote addi?
tional bonds to complete the
roads in this district practical?
ly without opposition when the
time comes. We are all believ?
ers in good roads down this
way.
The macadam r o a d from
hero to Kust Stone (Jap is now
completed, and is in good con?
dition This new road brings
these two towns in close touch
with each other, now being
only two miles apart over this
splendidly constructed high
way.
The board of supervisors of
Tazowoll has just entered a
resolution giving the Oontinen
tal Development and Invest?
ment Companyt an Ohio corpo?
ration, the right to use the pub?
lic road from the town of Ore
ham to the town of Tn/.owell
for the purpose of constructing
an electric railway line.
The Post is anxious to get all
the local news or articles of in
terest pertaining to this section
and cordially invite all its
friends to semi such items in
for publication. The more peo?
ple loam of each other the bet?
ter acquainted they become and
the better acquainted they be?
come the better it is for the
community in which they live.
Through the local news of a
paper is a good medium through
which people can know mote
of each other.
The United Slates govern
men) is making plans for the
expenditure of a great sum of
money in the establishment of
n comprehensive system of
good roads, with the oid of
State and county governments.
And tho probabilities are that
I a gigantic bond issue will be
made before the work of re?
building the roads is well under
way, but if the argumets of the
believers in good roads is cor
reel, the benefits that result
from good highways will more
than repay the outlay.

Secures Estate

cate
Paul T. Jeanrenaud Qualifies
for Property Left Him
In Switzerland.
Richmond, Va Oct. 18.?
Paul T. Jeanrenard of Newport
News in probably tho most ar?
dent champion in Virginia of
tho new vital statistics law, for
the very good reason that tho
enactment of ibis statute has
Bavcd for him and his family
an estate in Switzerland winch
otherwise they would have lost.
Indeed, judging from his
correspondence with the Stute
Board of Health, Mr. Jean re n
aud seems to think that the
Uenerul Assembly of Virginia
enacted this law to save him
from loss at tin- very time he
most needed legal assistance.
A naturalized American citi?
zen and a prosperous business
man, Mr. Jeanrenaud received '
notice during tlx* spring that
his grandfather had died in
Switzerland and had h ft to
llim and his brothers and sisters
a considerable estate. All that
he hail to do was toprove his re?
lationship to the dead man.
For himself ami his brothers
who had beeil born in Switzer?
land, this was easy, as their
births were duly recorded in
the canton register. Hut Mr
Jeanrenaud had a young sister '
born in America, whose birth,
ill the absence of any law, had
not been legally recorded I'n
fortunately. Ion, l h e girl's
mother was dead and the phy?
sician w ho had been present at
the child's birth had also died.
This seemed to remove the
last hope of getting the estate.
for innumerable legal difficul?
ties would arise where the title
of all the heirs could not be es?
tablished. Just a! the time Mr.
Jeanrenaud was giving up hope
he saw that the new vital sta
tiStiCS law had been passed and
that it was possible to record .
the birth of any one born be?
fore the enactment of the law,
provided legal proofs of birth
could be produced.
Quick to see the possibility
thus afforded him, Mr. Jean?
renaud at puce began a search
for the nurse who had attended
Ins mother at the birth of his
sister. The nurse, as it hap?
pened, bad moved from Virgin,
ia and her whereabouts wore
not known; Mr. Jeanrenaud
began a nation widosearch and
filially, when he was despair?
ing of success, heard that the
nurse was practicing le t pro
fessiou in Florida, lie located
her at last and had her tile with
the State Hoard of Health a
legal statement of the birth of
Ins sister. This was found to
he in pioper form and was ao
copied by the State.
As if by magic, Mr. Joauren
attd's illflloultleS was obviated
and his claiin was estebllshed.
He had only to procure a legal
copy of tho certificate of birth
ami forward it to the proper
Swiss authorities He ox poets,
in the course of a few days, to
receive the full amount of the
estate and, in the meantime,
blesses the tieiieral Assembly
of Virginia while wondering
why the enactment of such a
necessary law wus so long de?
layed.
